✪ ABSTRACT ✪

Forget amateur scammers, crypto theft has evolved into a sophisticated underground industry. Groups like CryptoLove and Wagmi now operate structured criminal enterprises with hierarchical teams, recruitment pipelines, and performance metrics that mirror legitimate businesses.

This investigation pulls back the curtain on how these operations function – from their organizational structure (developers, mentors, log handlers) to the technical infrastructure powering their campaigns. We'll dissect their affiliate system supporting infamous stealers like LummaC2, StealC, Rhadamanthys, and AMOS.

We follow the entire criminal workflow: how "workers" are recruited, trained to acquire verified social accounts across platforms, and deploy convincing impersonations of NFT projects, Metaverse games, productivity tools, and conferencing software. We'll demonstrate their technical sophistication – launcher-based feedback loops and worker-specific promo codes for commission tracking designed for maximum efficiency. The scale is staggering: over 22,000 documented victims and hundreds of thousands in stolen cryptocurrency.

This isn't just another scam alert – it's a deep dive into a criminal ecosystem that has industrialized digital exploitation with frightening precision.
